autoreconf fails: couldn't open directory 'm4m'

[pauledd]

Hi there,
I tried to install gphoto2 only, from its directory. Steps I did:
(libgphoto2 is already installed)
"svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/gphoto/code/trunk gphoto-code"
"cd gphoto-code/gphoto2"
The README in there tells me to run:
"autoreconf -is"
and I get the error:
"aclocal-1.15: error: couldn't open directory 'm4m': Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden (not found)
autoreconf-2.69: aclocal failed with exit status: 1"
What am I doing wrong?

this means the svn externals were not resolved. can you run "svn up" in the gphoto-code subdirectory?

btw, current development happens here at github, so you clone gphoto from here.

Ok thank you, from now on I clone from github. I just tried it and it works.
greets
Paul
PS:
For the sake of completeness here is what I get when doing svn up from that old clone:

paul@Wurst ~/build/gphoto-code $ svn up
